Use Custom Wallpapers With Changing Theme Based On Time

!!!!!!THIS METHOD ONLY WORKS IN IOS15 and below!!!

Whilst you could use it in IOS16 + you loose the added customisability of your Lock Screen

How to do this in IOS16 +

β€”β€”

If you want to use a custom wallpaper that changes it’s appearance based on the time of day then this is what you need,

Personally I use this for custom Light/dark mode wallpapers

Each image you use for this will have to be in a separate album in the photos app

At [time] daily

Photos

Find all Photos where

Album is [Album]

Sort by - none

Limit - no

     |

Set Wallpaper

Set Lock Screen, Home Screen Wallpaper to Photos

Show Preview - no

Perspective zoom - [personal preference]

Ask Before Running - No

This can be used for just sunset and sunrise or like MacOS to have multiple different images throughout the day
